For the Praça das Artes building complex in the center of São Paulo, Brazil, the architects chose red and brown integrally colored concrete as the material for the facade. The solid section of the facade is made entirely of exposed concrete integrally colored with iron oxide pigments. The clearly visible formwork of the exposed concreted surfaces underscore the lively character of the integrally colored facades. Photo: LANXESS AG

Concrete pavers colored with Bayferrox iron oxides show their true colors for a very long time. The choice of the pigment is of crucial importance for the quality of final product. Years of observing colored concrete products exposed to different climatic conditions in various locations have shown that weather-resistant inorganic oxide pigments from LANXESS offer excellent fastness properties.
